YOU FIRST BELIEVED
Serendipity can be loosely defined as a series of fortunate accidents Events that we never even expect to occur once, let alone occur repeatedly, but in the end keep finding their way into our lives. Nik and Moe are such victims of serendipity. Though they were apart most of the time, they had known each other intensely for a span of 6 years. Being separated from each other multiple times, they would always fatefully and triumphantly end up together. It took a lot of years but finally the time for Nik and Moe had come. Here is their story.
It was the first year of college and Moe had been forbidden by her then boyfriend, Mr. Beatbox, to hang out with Nikki and his friends. Throughout college they could only pass each other randomly at school. And nothing always came out of it. It would only be 3 years after, during the fourth year of college, that they would be able to reconnect to each other again.
By this time, a lot had change to both Nik and Moe's lives relationship-wise. Moe had been single the past few years. She and Mr.Beatbox broke up a few years back. (Woooooooohooooo!) Nik, on the other hand, was already in a 2-year relationship with another girl that we shall name Ms.CPA.
One lazy afternoon, Nik was in a melancholic mood. His classes had just ended and, apparently, he was feeling a little down from his break up with Ms. CPA that just happened a few days ago. He went straight to Roxas Avenue to get a taxi for home when, lo and behold, he saw Moe waiting for a taxi as well.
This was pretty unusual for Nik. In all his years of college, he always took a taxi to go home and this was the first time he saw Moe waiting there as well. He sorta knew that Moe was a "hatid-sundo" girl. He could see that she was feeling a little uneasy while waiting for a taxi to come along. She was also having an exceptionally hard time hailing a taxi because of the number of other commuters waiting too. And so, Nik went up to her to offer his help (naks naman diba? haha).
"Uy Mon ano ginagawa mo dito?"
"Hi Nik. Nag-aabang ng taxi. pauwi na kasi ako."
"Diba sinusundo ka?"
"Oo, kaso wala si mommy ngayon."
"Ahhh, ganun ba? Sige tulungan na lang kita." :)
Moe was a little shy at first but was more than happy for the help. (Yiheeee!) Nik went a tad in front of her and the other commuters for a good position. In all his years waiting for taxis by that road, he pretty much already had a game plan on how to get the taxis before other people could. (Pa-impress dapat si Nikki eh. haha)
"Musta ka na Mon?"
"Mmmm ok lang naman. Ikaw? Musta na kayo ni Ms.CPA?"
Suddenly, Nik went emo mode. (pathetic we know. hahaha)
"Ahhh Uhmmm wala na kami. Medyo matagal na narin. Mga a week ago pa nung retreat pa natin. Wala pa nga nakakaalam eh. Wala pa kasi akong sinabihan. Come to think of it, ikaw pa lang nakaalam since nagtanong ka sakin."
Moe gets a little startled. (with a hint of care. ^_^)
"Ahh sorry Nik. Di ko alam. Ok ka lang? Ano bang nangyari?"
Nik then proceeds to share his breakup story. A very looooooooong one while waiting for the taxi. During the whole time, Moe could see that Nik was pretty badly affected by it. And she wanted to cheer him up but didn't know how to start. Then a taxi suddenly came around the corner and Nik quickly hailed it down before she could say a word.
Like a true "tunay na lalake", Nik feigned that everything was okay and there was nothing to worry about. Then, he quickly told Moe that she should probably go home now. (alpha male syndrome. HAHA)
"O ayan may taxi na Mon. Uwi ka na ha. Medyo late na."

"Onga eh. Sige Nik. Thank you talaga ha."
"Sure no prob! Ingat ka ha. Bye bye!"
"Kaw din. Ingat! Bye bye!"
They both shared a little smile before Moe finally went into the taxi. Nik threw a final wave. And just like that she was gone.
Nik found himself suddenly alone. His little chit chat with Moe was just the right thing he needed at the time. He allowed himself a brief smile again then briskly hailed his own taxi too.
A minute after Moe got inside her taxi, Nik got his own taxi as well. And just as it was about to veer off towards the direction of home, Nik received a text message from an unknown number.
"Hi Nik! Thank you ha. Don't worry maging okay ka rin in time. Makakahanap ka rin ng iba I'm sure. Ikaw pa! Haha"
"Sino ito? Haha."
"Sino ito? Haha."
"Halaaaa dinelete mo number ko. Si Mona to. Haha."
"Haha. Hindi ah. Nasira kasi phone ko kaya nawala mga dati kong contacts. :) Save ko na ulit number mo."
"Haha dapat lang! Sige ingat Nik. Thank you ulit."
"Haha. No problem. Kaw din ingat ka. Thank you din. ;)"
And just like that, Nik forgot he was sad. For the third time, he allowed himself to smile again.
For the next two days, they would accidentally see each other at Roxas Avenue again and again. And just like the day before, Nik would help Moe in getting her own taxi for the next few days while her mom was not available. Indeed, the text she sent him was right. Nik would still find another woman for himself. They just didn't know at the time that it was them that were meant to be together all along. Those casual encounters waiting for the taxis led to comfortable conversations. Those conversations led to a lasting friendship. It was inevitable.
A year and 8 months from that one lazy melancholic afternoon, Nik and Moe are now together. After what feels like a lifetime, serendipity has prevailed. They vowed that they would not allow anything to tear them apart anymore. They are now enjoying their lives together as one happy couple. They support each other with their dreams and share the blessings and love they have for each other with their friends and families. They put God first in their relationship and thank Him for all His blessings including bringing the both of them together.
PS. As for how Nik was able to enchant Moe's heart to say yes to him, well that's a whole other story. :)
